Deion Sanders Brands Hunter as a First-Round Pick

Following CU’s upset win in the season opener against TCU, Deion Sanders had nothing but praise for Hunter, who played both sides of the ball in the game. He played both as a cornerback and a wide receiver, accumulating 119 yards and a crucial interception. He’s the first athlete to ever do so in Division I football. Sanders, who also dominated as a WR and a CB in the NFL, stated in an interview that Hunter will easily dominate both offense and defense when he gets to that stage.

Deion said in the interview, “This kid is a first-rounder on both sides of the ball, like a first pick,” followed by, “He is the first pick. That’s who he is. Travis is, and he loves the game. He does not tire of loving the game and wanting to be in the game and studying the game and all of the intricate details of the game.“

According to Sanders himself, Travis has shown unbeatable consistency in practice and a hunger for learning, which will lead him to great heights. The CU is currently in their bye week, and Hunter is anticipated to be a dominant force in the upcoming bout against the UCLA Bruins.
